Madagascar Safari Holidays

Places of Interest on Madagascar Safari Holidays

Despite belonging to Africa, the island of Madagascar is very different from the rest of the continent. In fact, it is difficult to liken the island to any other place on Earth. A vast expanse of sea separates Madagascar from mainland Africa, and it is way ahead in terms of its evolutionary processes. On our Madagascar safari holidays you will get an amazing opportunity to explore this distinctive island, not least at the Special Reserve of Andasibe where you will see the Indri Indri lemurs, chameleons, tropical birds and exquisite varieties of orchid. Ranomafana National Park is equally as stunning and you can witness the abundance of wildlife on walks through the forested hills.

Aside from the incredible flora and fauna, Madagascar is also home to an interesting population of people, with various tribes that have maintained their ancient traditions and customs. On our Madagascar safari holidays you may get the opportunity to visit the Betsimisaraka tribe, the second largest on the island, and discover more about their way of life as they manage to survive off the land. If you visit Ambalavao during Madagascar safari holidays, you can enjoy a wine tasting experience at this centre for wine production. You might also explore Isalo National Park during your tour, where you can take a hike through the rainforest to a beautiful natural pool. Take a dip to cool off in the pool’s crystal clear waters as the sounds of the rainforest make the experience completely enchanting. Madagascar safari holidays are by no means complete without a trip to the beach either, and you will discover when you go snorkeling or scuba diving that the island’s astonishing biodiversity is not just limited to the land.
